Bourdain states in the 2015 episode that perhaps he didn’t do the Holy City justice the first time around, saying drinking champagne at an oyster roast was an “egregious” mistake.

“The South is not a monolith,” Bourdain says as he begins the episode. “There are pockets of weirdness, awesomeness, and then there is Charleston, where for some time now, important things have been happening with food.”

Perhaps the most memorable moment in South Carolina was when Bourdain tries Waffle House for the first time.

As the episode ends, Bourdain sits on a dock with Sean Brock, a chef in the city, as the pair eats boiled peanuts and looks out over a landscape letting their fishing poles rest. Bourdain gets the last line as he casts again: “Not bad for a Yankee.”

But by the end of the notes, we see Bourdain has a different perspective.

I doubt I left the state much smarter than I entered it. It’s not a representative overview of “what you should know or see while in Mississippi.” But I hope that viewers will get a taste of a uniquely beautiful place—where some of the last of some truly great American institutions are still alive.
